[WCAG2ICT] Agenda for the 8 September meeting

Hi all,

Welcome, and thank you for your willingness to participate in the WCAG2ICT Task Force. We will have our first meeting on 8 September at 10 AM Eastern (Length: up to 1 hour). Please make sure you block your calendars for a weekly meeting at this time. Note, that there may be some anomalies in time differences when daylight savings ends (Nov.6 in the U.S.), so always use the time conversion for your locale based on the 10 AM Eastern (Boston) time (convert to UTC<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=8&min=0&sec=0&p1=43>).

I recently sent a W3C meeting invitation, but some task force participants may have difficulty with it. So I’m sending this email to ensure everyone has access to the information.
